After reading about Catherine McAuley’s 10 concepts of careful nursing practice, the one that stuck out most to me was “nurse’s care for themselves”. As nurses, we tend to put ourselves on the “backburner” as we are busy taking care of others and putting their needs before our own. I am extremely guilty of this. I believe this is why many nurses experience burnout because mentally and physically they have pushed themselves to the limit of exhaustion, not realizing how this will negatively affect their patient’s care. I have seen this numerous times during the pandemic, where I’ve known a few nurses personally that quit nursing altogether and pursued a different career. It is crucial for nurses to take care of themselves spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially, as this can directly affect their ability to care for others (Meehan, 2003). If we take care of ourselves in this manner, all of the other concepts of careful nursing practice (especially disinterested love, contagious calmness, and trustworthy collaboration) will be evident in our patient care. I have come to the conclusion that if I take even 1 to 2 hours a week doing something I enjoy (just a jog around the neighborhood or meeting with friends for dinner), my overall mood is improved and I am refreshed to start another week of work. I encourage all of you to set time aside for yourself during the week to decompress or just relax. You will notice a huge difference in your workplace and how you take care of your patients!
